Neuro Rehab- Module 3: Multiple Sclerosis and Other Neuromuscular Diseases

Neuro Rehab- Module 3: Multiple Sclerosis and Other Neuromuscular Diseases is organized by AdvantageCEUs com.

Description:
Using a problem-solving approach based on clinical evidence, the text written by Darcy Umphred, PT, PhD, FAPTA, Neurological Rehabilitation, 6th Edition covers the therapeutic management of people with functional movement limitations and quality of life issues following a neurological event. It reviews basic theory and covers the latest screening and diagnostic tests, new treatments, and interventions commonly used in today's clinical practice. This edition includes the latest advances in neuroscience, adding new chapters on neuroimaging and clinical tools such as virtual reality, robotics, and gaming.
